Is India The Canary In The Coalmine? - Is Gold Import Ban Imminent?

First it was the elimination of high value fiat bills... and lines outside of ATMS around the country... now.. rumors of a Gold ban in India leaves Bitcoin as one of the only stores of value - leading to premiums on its price. (As previously reported.) Might Bitcoin be the ultimate refuge in crazy world?

The Four Phase Coinbase Secret Master Plan

A 'secret' for all to see...good read on the future of Crypto and what Coinbase intends to do about it. Looks like we are in Phase Two and about ready for the REAL big breakout. Will you be a part of the blockchain early? (Good background read too.)
--------
Crypto Links
The real promise of the blockchain is to the TWO BILLION UNBANKED PEOPLE - which could even make their freetime valuable. A new way of thinking about labor?
------
I'll bet you have never heard of Liberland...the micronation? Right? (on the Danube) - Well, their national currency is Bitcoin Ya'll. Find out where other countries are moving. That said, the President of Liberland suggested that the Crypto coin DASH may be of interest too. Also... Is China about to launch their own Crypto?
-----
Last week we cued you into the seeming Fiat problems in India and Venezuela -- resulting perhaps in BTC's price rise to the rest of the world... (including the Yuan's devaluation)...but...could another country... Italy be about to face a banking crisis?
-------------
And, finally - ya gotta love the stories by folks that should know - who say that there is still a chance that Bitcoin... Could Rise To One Million Dollars Each - why not buy some at Coinbase today... and the first time you buy 100.00 worth - they give you 10 bucks of FREE Bitcoin....

Bitcoin Soft Fork Becomes Political Popularity Contest - Perhaps

In most updates I provide a `breaking' story - this really is more background than story.... but - it's new today too - Bitcoin Softfork... underlying question of course is when or if BTC will change into store of value haven and challenge the existing fiats. Read more about the SegWit Solution soft fork.
=================================
Crypto Links

In HUGE news - The IRS Has Issued A Summons To Coinbase to identify at least several BTC accounts that seem to suggest illegal activity that avoids IRS taxes - since most in USA if not many nations use Coinbase as their source of BTC - worrisome indeed. The story really leaves it open how large or specific the IRS request to Coinbase is...stay tuned.


First India and now Venezuela is imposing currency ATM restrictions - and the interest in Bitcoin continues to grow as fiats are seen as less reliable. Same is true for Canada - even if for different reasons than a currency collapse - indeed, BTC ATM's have come to Coffee Shops In Canada Recently.

As Bitcoin continues to rise in price - 4% Rises In One Hour are starting to occur.

As you know by simply being here and reading the links a few times a month - things are changing fast as more and more uses for the blockchain are imagined... now how about earning money for your computer's own downtime? Read About The Golem Pre-Sale. (earlier in month)

As more and more merchants understand the potential to reach the BTC market... and understand it's convertibility - more and more are accepting it for retail - Like Dozens Of Merchants In France This Week.

How about this read about ETH's situation... seems that various ETHEREUM projects may be what is Sustaining It's Real Value. Interesting.

What Does Zcash Mean For Ethereum?

First up is a highly speculative article about how the Zcash coin could enhance Ethereum.... Will it be a competitor or ally? The whole Zcash phenomena is still ongoing as this post is uploaded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crypto Links
Seems that UBER has teamed up with a debit card company to serve underbanked markets...like Latin America. Can accepting BTC be far behind?

Leave it to Redditors - seems someone offered up .01btc for EVERY comment if Trump won on one thread - and suddenly - with Hillary Clinton REJECTING BTC - Trump and btc have a strange connection (he also is buds with Tyson of course).

Did you know that India Replaced It's Currency Last Month? And it seems that all is not peachy keen.

Could Bitcoin increasingly be viewed like a Swiss Bank Account? In other words - like a Safe Asset? - And if so, what may happen to the price when the super wealthy discover that they need some?

Lots of people are in the dark as to what the IRS ruled about Bitcoin and alternative currencies in 2014 - now the treasury is asking the IRS again to look at all of the hubbub - much of it is summarized in this article.

Might China Impose Bitcoin Controls

Good Morning Crypto Folks - Seems that China due to their own currency problems - may impose Restrictions on Bitcoin - such as restricting exchanges in China from moving BTC out of the nation. And, while prices immediately fell (probably by pure chance and not regarding this story IMO) - to me the effect might be a limiting to a degree of the supply to the world - driving prices higher. Meanwhile...is it possible that having China be the center of Bitcoin Trading And Mining a good thing?

THE OCTOBER 29TH Zcash Crash - AND - Swiss Railway Company Turns Ticket Machines Into Bitcoin ATM's

If you are a crypto-trader you probably lost money yesterday doing so; as much like 10-29-1929 - yesterday's 10-29 saw the similar crash - of not only the newly introduced Zcash - but nearly all cryptos; as Bitcoin itself, seems determined to return to the 800 dollar level again. Nonetheless... a few coins are already in recovery mode and timing the bottom was probably impossible.

Are Fiat Bankers Beginning To Fear Bitcoin?

Crypto Links

The headline refers to the EU Central Bank's newly stated views on Cryptocurrencies - you can almost smell the fear in their words about losing control of money itself.
----------
Another example of how the international banking scene could be affected is the use of BTC across international borders - like how in just 2016...on a month to month basis - the increase has been 10 fold already from about 5 million (USD) a month to over 40 million (USD) a month.
------------
Things may never be the same.

Underserved banking markets like India have adapted to BTC in rapid fashion - here's a short read about just how explosive the digital payment environment in India is expected to grow. Think HUGE by 2020.

SegWit To Soft Fork Bitcoin In November

Crypto Links

The Segregated Witness augmentation to the Bitcoin core should help in the desired scaling solution for BTC. Along the same theme - why are BTC confirmations taking so long?
-----------------
Do you want three good reasons to invest in Cryptocurrencies? How about Japan - Litecoin - Diminshing Fiat Values! Seems a Japan utility is accepting BTC and giving a discount for its use; the Chinese are going for the silver coin LTC; and the Pound and other fiats decline in relation to the dollar.

Like To Gamble On The Internet? Try Dogesp.in!

I have found a very private way to play Roulette, Dice, Video Poker or Blackjack on the internet - it's called DogeSpin - http://dogesp.in/ and I've used it for over a year. On this website you have YOUR OWN PERSONAL page for all your gambling. Yes... no chat...just privacy the way you like it.

The webpage also has good customer service the one time I had a question too. Additionally it shows you the odds of any bet you make and like other internet gambling webpages - is provably fair if you take the time to verify your bets. And, as you can probably bet - it takes deposits in Doge coins and pays out the same....one time I did have a large positive run and easily transferred my Doge into an exchange.

I highly suggest Dogesp.in - and unlike nearly all gambling sites - it has NO affiliate links - your cut is never compromised...so check it out.

Monero Becomes The Big Cheese

Hey Crypto fans - got some links for you today to enjoy. As noted by our headline, on Sept 1st Monero became a new currency accepted on the so-called dark web - and consequently has seen real volume and action...even becoming at times the most valuable Crypto except for BTC. Who'da thought privacy would still matter?
==============================================
Revolution Or Barfstew?
----------
no, not coins, an excellent 'physical' wallet, read all about it

certainly worth the read

here's a quote
"Contrary to conventional wisdom, our research shows that fiat currencies crowd out Bitcoin, not the reverse and that the design and size of the Bitcoin market deprive the currency of its intended use as a medium of exchange. What is also evident is that Bitcoin poses minimal risk to financial or monetary stability. Despite this, if the acceptance of Bitcoin or other virtual currencies increases significantly on a global scale, it could have significant consequences on the relevance of monetary policy, as its decentralized and independent nature makes regulatory oversight difficult.”

As you can see from today's headline - the 100 million dollar plus `hacking' or `executing the code' of the DAO is obviously the summer lead story; and represents the tarnishing of one of ETH's biggest promises..the smart contract to fund the autonomous development of an idea....the hard fork and the creation of ETC... only highlighted the problems to many.

How The ETHEREUM Price Crash Made Me A Better Crypto Trader

IF you dig into this blog deep enough you can find when I became involved in the Crypto trading area - late 2014. I've been through several exchanges and yes... lost money in Cryptsy like everyone else too... not seeing the handwriting on the chat room wall. That said, it is also easy to see that I've been `pushing' this thing called Ethereum... and had Tether shares of Ether on Bittrex well before it was knee high to a molehill....additionally I was in on all the early trading and more than anything kept holding my Ethereum coins when it became real..... indeed being one of the lucky ones in before the huge rise.... and giving me nearly ALL my profits... as I saw it rise until I had over 1,300.00 fiat in my trading account...90% of it ETH....ETH pushing the .035btc levels ect.... 15 a coin.... and then the decline came.

I already had the `stick with it too long' thing with the Navajo coin in early 2015 - but... nonetheless I stuck with ETH... thinking that it just could take off at any moment..yes the FOMO idea even though I wasn't missing anything as I rode  it all up..... but eventually as my BTC value and fiat value declined - and I started to `short' my ETH - to maintain - I knew it was time to treat my trading BTC as just that... something to trade and not be attached to .... with ETH being the best to trade of course... but now... not trading through rose colored glasses.

I often feature `Coin Telegragh' Links - thanks for checking them out too.

BlockApps, a startup providing Ethereum blockchain software for enterprises, has become the first certified offering on Microsoft Azure's Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) marketplace.
With its latest post, Microsoft also announced that asset exchange provider AlphaPoint and Internet-of-Things micropayments startup IOTA have joined its Azure BaaS platform.
Launched in October, Microsoft has been steadily adding providers to its blockchain testing environment for enterprises, though BlockApps' Strato platform is the first to gain certification.
Calling the news "a watershed moment", Marley Gray, director of blockchain strategy at Microsoft, said:
"The simple, rapid and flexible one-click deploy of Ethereum blockchain architecture launched on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace enables enterprises and developers to quickly deploy a certified blockchain environment on Azure."
Gray added that he believes the offering will expedite enterprise blockchain development, as it enables enterprises to develop proofs-of-concept (PoCs) and scale to full production systems.

The Ethereum Sensation II

The surge in marketcap at Ethereum http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/all/ has put it into uncontested 2nd place as we do this posting. Rumors of the marketcap exceeding BTC are not impossible to find (50 dollars a coin)...  and, since a handful of coins are up since the Hearn BTC analysis - are they the ones to inherent the scene? Will the comparison for coins be to ETH's value soon as the ETH fiat market grows too?..... Which all belies... what happens to BTC?

The Hearn Bitcoin Analysis Shakes Market

It has already been an eventful 2016 in nearly all financial markets as you know... most markets have taken significant hits to marketcap, While BTC Soared In The First Days Of 16...and that includes Cryptocurrencies in general too. But, now, already,  there are significant new patterns too - such as the surge in certain fiat values despite BTC's volatility - and yes... we are speaking about the Ethereum fiat value spike (to 2.22 as of this post) as folks search anew for a new `Bitcoin' - to replace a flawed product as it now stands - perhaps...... I'll let Hearn explain it all via this link and the excerpt below: Hearn Leaves BTC - Selling All His Coins - Trashing The Coin While Exiting (Jan14th)

"From the start, I’ve always said the same thing: Bitcoin is an experiment and like all experiments, it can fail. So don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. I’ve said this in interviews, on stage at conferences, and over email. So have other well known developers like Gavin Andresen and Jeff Garzik.
But despite knowing that Bitcoin could fail all along, the now inescapable conclusion that it has failed still saddens me greatly. The fundamentals are broken and whatever happens to the price in the short term, the long term trend should probably be downwards. I will no longer be taking part in Bitcoin development and have sold all my coins.

Why has Bitcoin failed? It has failed because the community has failed. What was meant to be a new, decentralised form of money that lacked “systemically important institutions” and “too big to fail” has become something even worse: a system completely controlled by just a handful of people." 
==============================================
Immediately... the price tanked from 430ish to 360ish - and every follow up MSM article made the coin value even more reactive - both ways... as many articles pointed out it was the 90th declaration of BTC being dead..Bitcoin Isn't Dead.... YET... and many point out that now the `community' will have some fire under its ass to make the needed changes.... we will see.
==============================================
Since the Hearn analysis, the coin generating the most trading interest and that seems to have the most development potential and everyone's favorite... Ethereum... here's some recent ETH links to get you up to speed:


and
Here's The Numbers
and another of the crowd favorites of late is
Factom

Oh, on the same day as Hearn made his announcement.... Cryptsy officially offered up an explanation by Big Vern indicating the loss of 10,000 BTC and 300,000LTC in a wallet theft in 2014.... at times now the website seems dead.... over 10K BTC loss by investors.... including about .09BTC by yours truly.
